Now that I can keep the neighbors out of my business. I can start again. I ordered the ac unit so I can work on the firewall nexted. Here is the Gate...I'M surprised how well it came out, the top is level while the bottom is not. My honey do's are done for awhile....I think?

Did some plumbing work, need to cut down and retap thru frame fittings to get tighter to frame.

**shadow1967** · 01-19-2013, 02:01 PM

Well this mourning started well. I seized a tap in my thru-frame brake fitting. I wanted to tap it deeper, didn't like the 5 turns in and more threads showing then turned in.

So new mato When dealing with stainless is "be as slow as a turtle". Lots of lube, I heared that somewhere before.

_Ogre · 01-19-2013, 04:38 PM

use anti seize when tapping stainless
that looks a little deep for a npt tap (National Pipe Thread)

**shadow1967** · 01-19-2013, 11:57 PM

Did some brake stuff. Got the Harley Davidson banjo fittings on to the master cylinder And tighten up the lines to the frame around the shockwaves.

**shadow1967** · 01-20-2013, 12:01 AM

Here is what a little time will do....Orge we used anti seize

_Ogre · 01-21-2013, 09:09 PM

hd banjo fittings? unique idea, i like it.
that looks like a ford mc, you might be able to add the nissan quest/ford villager remote reservoir to that mc

This MC is in alot of models corvette included from @ 2002 to now. That is one of the reasons I went for it, plus it was 120.00 with the hydro boost.

It's been awhile and here is what we have done.... not much!
Fuel is done!

**shadow1967** · 02-10-2013, 02:48 PM

Some more.

**shadow1967** · 02-10-2013, 02:53 PM

Air ride 90% waiting on 6 fittings....

**shadow1967** · 02-10-2013, 03:02 PM

Brakes 95% waiting on 2 fitting....

**shadow1967** · 02-10-2013, 03:05 PM

Some more....Aluminum is a whole lot easier to bend then stainless!

Kim57 · 02-10-2013, 05:10 PM

That's lots of plumbing. It takes a while but looks good when it's done.
Kim

ChuckDriver · 02-10-2013, 07:40 PM

Wow, lots of work gettin' done!
